Plot Summary of Peach
"This is a story about a fascinating family that gives way to a young teenage temptress (Peach de Courmont) who is heiress to the de Courmont dynasty. She grows up in luxury, and is used to having life--and love--on her own terms. Noel Maddox was raised in an Iowa orphanage and fought his way from the assembly line to the Pinnacle of power in America. Peach, and her family's legacy, were what he meant to have."
Kristi Kirkley, Resident Scholar
